上下文。以大年龄和伴侣之间的经济不对称为特征的“糖爸爸”关系被认为是WIN在撒哈拉以南非洲传播的一个主要因素。需要关于甜爹伴侣的信息，以及更广泛的关于年龄和经济不对称的信息，以确定它们有多常见，以及它们是否与不安全的性行为有关。方法：2001年，在肯尼亚基苏木进行了一项调查，样本包括1052名年龄在21-45岁的男性。研究人员分析了男性和他们最近7614次非婚伴侣的数据，以计算糖爹和糖爹关系的发生率，以及非婚伴侣中的一系列年龄和经济差距。结果：非婚性伴侣的平均年龄相差5.5岁，47%的男性女性伴侣为青少年。14%的伙伴关系涉及至少10岁的年龄差距，23%的伙伴关系涉及的男性对女性物质援助的平均金额超过平均数。报告至少有一个伴侣同时具有这两种特征的男性被定义为糖爹，占样本的5%，糖爹关系占伴侣关系的4%。我们构建的最大的年龄和经济不对称与使用避孕套的几率降低有关。结论：尽管爸爸的关系并不像通常认为的那样普遍，但年龄和经济不对称在非婚伙伴关系中相对常见。所有这些类型的不对称都与不使用避孕套有关。增加女性在不对称性关系中的权力可以提高她们协商更安全的性行为的能力，比如使用避孕套。
CONTEXT. "Sugar daddy" relationships, which are characterized by large age and economic asymmetries between partners, are believed to be a major factor in the spread of Win Sub-Saharan Africa. Information is needed about sugar daddy partnerships-and about age and economic asymmetries more generally-to determine how common they are and whether they are related to unsafe sexual behavior.METHODS: The sample comprised 1,052 men aged 21-45 who were surveyed in Kisumu, Kenya, in 2001. Data on men and their 7,614 recent nonmarital partnerships were analyzed to calculate the prevalence of sugar daddies and sugar daddy relationships, as well as a range of age and economic disparities within nonmarital partnerships. regression models were constructed to assess relationships between condom use at last sexual intercourse and various measures of age and economic asymmetry.RESULTS: The mean age difference between nonmarital sexual partners was 5.5 years, and 47% of men's female partners were adolescents. Fourteen percent of partnerships involved an age difference of at least 10 years, and 23% involved more than the mean amount of male-to-female material assistance. Men who reported at least one partnership with both these characteristics were defined as sugar daddies and made up 5% of the sample, sugar daddy relationships accounted for 4% of partnerships. Sugar daddy partnerships and the largest age and economic asymmetries we constructed were associated with decreased odds of condom use.CONCLUSIONS: Although sugar daddy relationships ore not as pervasive as generally assumed, age and economic asymmetries in nonmarital partnerships are relatively common. All these types of asymmetries ore associated with nonuse of condoms. Increasing women's power within asymmetric sexual relationships could improve their ability to negotiate safer sexual behaviors, such as condom use.
